comes out to be 5.03 times 10 to the negative 15, right?
So what that means is that the chances of a result that strong, if ivermectin does not work, are something like the chances of you guessing a random 15-digit number on the first try.
I mean, it's through the roof, right?
This is a level of statistical significance we essentially never see.
So my point here is a couple fold.
One, the ivermectin story and the repurposed drug story more generally is a very important puzzle piece because if repurposed drugs had been
allowed to be used, if doctors had been allowed to go through the normal process of medicine that doctors go through, where they look at a patient who's ill, they see what their symptoms are, they try to figure out what might work for them, they talk to other doctors, they pool their information.
If that process had been allowed to unfold,
COVID is an entirely manageable disease in all but the most compromised people, right?
There was no important pandemic.
Repurposed drugs could have addressed it.
Instead, what we got was a propaganda campaign in which people like you and me were gaslit and slandered
And the public was fed a story in which we did the work.
Randomized controlled trials are the gold standard of science.
And they tell us that ivermectin is not effective against COVID.
This is total nonsense, right?
So part of the crime was in denying us the stuff that did work, which then forced people into the stuff that didn't work.
That also happened to compromise their health.
